Authors of GNU CVS
|
|
|
|
The conflict-resolution algorithms and much of the administrative file
|
|
definitions of CVS were based on the original package written by Dick Grune
|
|
at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam <dick@cs.vu.nl>, and posted to
|
|
comp.sources.unix in the volume 6 release sometime in 1986. This original
|
|
version was a collection of shell scripts. I am thankful that Dick made
|
|
his work available.
|
|
|
|
Brian Berliner from Prisma, Inc. (now at Sun Microsystems, Inc.)
|
|
<berliner@sun.com> converted the original CVS shell scripts into reasonably
|
|
fast C and added many, many features to support software release control
|
|
functions. See the manual page in the "man" directory. A copy of the
|
|
USENIX article presented at the Winter 1990 USENIX Conference, Washington
|
|
D.C., is included in the "doc" directory.
|
|
|
|
Jeff Polk from BSDI <polk@bsdi.com> converted the CVS 1.2
|
|
sources into much more readable and maintainable C code. He also added a
|
|
whole lot of functionality and modularity to the code in the process.
|
|
See the bottom of the NEWS file (from about 1992).
|
|
|
|
david d `zoo' zuhn <zoo@armadillo.com> contributed the working base code
|
|
for CVS 1.4 Alpha. His work carries on from work done by K. Richard Pixley
|
|
and others at Cygnus Support. The CVS 1.4 upgrade is due in large part to
|
|
Zoo's efforts.
|
|
|
|
David G. Grubbs <dgg@odi.com> contributed the CVS "history" and "release"
|
|
commands. As well as the ever-so-useful "-n" option of CVS which tells CVS
|
|
to show what it would do, without actually doing it. He also contributed
|
|
support for the .cvsignore file.
|
|
|
|
The Free Software Foundation (GNU) contributed most of the portability
|
|
framework that CVS now uses. This can be found in the "configure" script,
|
|
the Makefile's, and basically most of the "lib" directory.
|
|
|
|
K. Richard Pixley, Cygnus Support <rich@cygnus.com> contributed many bug
|
|
fixes/enhancement as well as completing early reviews of the CVS 1.3 manual
|
|
pages.
|
|
|
|
Roland Pesch, then of Cygnus Support <roland@wrs.com> contributed
|
|
brand new cvs(1) and cvs(5) manual pages. Thanks to him for saving us
|
|
from poor use of our language!
|
|
|
|
Paul Sander, HaL Computer Systems, Inc. <paul@hal.com> wrote and
|
|
contributed the code in lib/sighandle.c. I added support for POSIX, BSD,
|
|
and non-POSIX/non-BSD systems.
|
|
|
|
Jim Kingdon and others at Cygnus Support <info@cygnus.com> wrote the
|
|
remote repository access code.
|
|
|
|
Larry Jones and Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com> have been maintaining and
|
|
enhancing CVS for some years. Mark D. Baushke <mdb@cvshome.org> came on in
|
|
2003.
|
|
|
|
There have been many, many contributions not listed here. Consult the
|
|
individual ChangeLog files in each directory for a more complete idea.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the above contributors, the following Beta testers
|
|
deserve special mention for their support. This is only a partial
|
|
list; if you have helped in this way and would like to be listed, let
|
|
bug-cvs know (as described in the Cederqvist manual).

Many contributors have added code to the "contrib" directory. See the
|
|
README file there for a list of what is available. There is also a
|
|
contributed GNU Emacs CVS-mode in tools/pcl-cvs.
